Hisrhwaying Ethicfe 1 u i < i- - In a pneviqus issue of the Battalion an editorial appeared rieHliw with t|ie “ethics of hitch-hiking.” The subject mgtter of that edituritl vus true enougfi in its extent but it wss presented from the viewpoittt of the hitck-hiler alone and enumerated his troubles, hardships, and inconveniences.;As there are two sides to every Question let’s consider the ‘same subject from the side of the motorist who composes the oth^r half ntf the hitrh-hikiriK combination. The writer is acquainted widt, hitch-hiking procedures only as they are conducted by members of file A and M Cndetl Corps so the following discussion will necessarily cea- tor it*elf around that aspect of the art Mjost of thfc students who depend upon a sturdy thumb and tip" grace of God to furnish them free transportatioti. to neighboring citiq* cannot) understand why each motorist who passes-does not avail hint ‘ self of the opportunity to have his trip brightened by ths* company a hitch-hiking Cadet, and when a motorist does not heed the threaten- . ing thumbs and(the commanding cries of “HoustoA’* •‘Bryan,” “Dallas;' etc., h^ has th«i back of hi* neck peppered with ejaculations and split infinitive* that! would put the saltiest sailor-to'Shamey If he should' happen to atop >to give some cadet a lift the chantes are that when th(e resulting khakifclad avalanche swarmed over his Car and then swarmed; off hgtoin, the Vehicle would be first class material for a second hand 'dealer, And c*lets expect the same victim to t’qme bOck for mono punishment. Most of the motorists who pass up and down the college highway are regular travelers of this particular beat anil one dose nf this hind of Afrgie “courtesy” is enough for them. They do not bit** on thq sgme honk twice. , M>inyTimes motorists who do not stop have reasons for not doing so ami those reasons should be respected by the cadets and not attrib uted tp downright ornerinesa. It is true that a fiew people would not give a hitch-hiker a lift if his life depended upon that gesture on their part, but that dla.-w is decidedly in the minority. ], His anyonb ever heard a cadet add “please” to his request for p rile? The writer is acquainted with a motorist who has promised him self that ke will take time from his other duties to treat (he first cadot who si ys “Bryan, please.” when he passe*. And this particular motor ist tra el* from* Pol lege to Bryan and back again at least cme each day. Has a^y cadet ever thought to lift his hat in a gentlemanly fashion when h pr mpedtive host is apprwaching? How mgny cadets have goti- ten inio cars, settled themselves comfortably, and lighted their ( amela or Luckies w-ithput asking permission to do so? 1 Wjhen we l^arn to giye the motorists the benefit of the doubt, tp display e\wa a mite of courtesy, and to respect the i*ight# of our tour ing hu>ts, the possibilities of our hitch-hiking opportunities will ini- crease immeasurably. Campus Personalities While the Texas the Rice Owls were first and seewnd honors Fort Worth Exposition Track ind Field meet last Saturday, little at tention was given tbe few * Aggie representatives, because they wore not represented in at many events as the other two Mams. Even at that though, they Vnade a good record with ‘‘Honk” trwin taking a first and second place in the two events in which he entered, and the relay team finishing second. As it stands now the Loaghorns and Owls are the favorites, but it is doubtful whether the predictions will be the same after Coach Anderson's men appear in compe tition against either of the others. ~' j ‘ IT While the Coach-and the six tracksters were in Fort Worth last week, the remainder of the team held a little competition among themselves. The winndrs ‘in the events were: 100-yard dash—Kdiler, II onds.
